Living Theatre

by Olden Yolk

Matthew Flores I didn't quite love this as much as the 2018 debut album which swept me off my feet. This is more melancholic, deeper and transitory. But still, I like it. And if anything, Caity gets more a spotlight on this record than Shane and the songs are insular and full of experimentation. Olden Yolk is wonderful. Favorite track: Castor & Pollux.

about

The follow up to their 2018 self-titled LP, Living Theatre conjures moments of stark minimalism and cinematic maximalism, most potent for Shaffer and Butlerâ€™s lyrical intimacy and vivid arrangements. The title was inspired by the experimental thespian movement in New York of the same name, in which actors broke from tradition by creating an experience of communal expression. Their songwriting palette takes cues from influences as disparate as avant garde punk, psychedelic folk, and experimental electronic music. Inspired by both freedom and restriction in their creative practice, the pair set to record the album in a constrained period of 3 months after spending a year on the road touring without a home base. They wrote all summer, in a space with no windows, molding private conversations into more expansive works that address concepts of home, spirituality, and ancestry in a contemporary landscape.

Juillet

"...magnifique...an album chock-full of intuitive 80s / 90s indie-pop - jangly guitars and melodic post-punk with detectable influences of both Sarah Records and Postcard... the addition of Camille FrÃ©chou's brass is a master-stroke of Gallic 'je ne sais quoi', acting as the perfect foil to Margaux Bouchaudon's clarion vocals... En Attendant Ana are a band who know what they're all about - this album is the proof..." https://reclaimingthecolonies-onestateatatime.blogspot.com steveinsocal

This band has crept into my psyche and won't leave. Excellent production, the instrumentation sounds clear and balanced. One of my favorite guitar based rock bands of recent years. Ryan Evans HTX
